We have a crisis on the border.  Even the so-called mainstream media says that.  Congress refuses to do anything about it.  Mexico is allowing this to happen, even though they have the ability to help ameliorate the situation.  

Sometimes, in the real world, you have to twist arms to get what you need.  This is one time I agree with Trump.  This stuff needs to stop.

I don't think we get to tell other countries what they ought to be doing. Something is either in the other country's interests or it's not.
How would you like it if Mexico told us that we ought to be restricting gun sales within our country, and they would place tariffs on us if we did not?
Or if Canada told us that we ought to have more universal health care, and they would impose tariffs if we did not?

Mexico was not just letting Central Americans cross their territory to illegally the US, they were aiding and abetting them. Do you really think those caravans were fully equipped with provisions for a 1000 mile hike?

As far as your hypothetical, the US could just tell them to stuff it. We don't OWE them the privilege of free trade with the US, and if they wanted to shoot themselves in the foot over their socialist desires, that's their right. Mexico gains a lot more from trade with the US than we do with them, hence their quick agreement to stop the illegals.

Trump's threat worked, just as I predicted it would. Stick that in your TDS basket.
